Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

When history looks back at the evolution of messaging apps like WhatsApp, it’ll point to our present time as when the definition of "messaging" changed. WhatsApp used it to connect people with other people. Now Google , which tried to buy WhatsApp early last year before Facebook swooped in and picked it up for $19 billion instead, wants to build its own messaging service that connects people with computers.

Google is working on a secret messaging service that will deliver services through chat bots, similar to those already found in popular chat networks like Kik and WeChat, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal that cites people familiar with the matter.
